  • Effect of Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) Modification on the Structure and Antimicrobial Activity of the Antimicrobial Peptide WLBU2

    Creator:
    Raper, Miranda A.
    Abstract:
    Sepsis is a blood infection that is caused by circulating bacteria cells and cell fragments, which contain immunogenic lipopolysaccharides (LPS) or endotoxin. The circulating endotoxin results in a severe dysregulation of the inflammatory response that ultimately leads to organ failure. One promising treatment method is removal of endotoxin by passing...

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulation of Microfluidic Focusing in a Low-Cost Flow Cytometer

    Creator:
    Parrott, Connor
    Abstract:
    Inertial microfluidics refers to the manipulation of the location and velocity of particles suspended in microscale fluid flow without the introduction of outside forces. It has promising applications in flow cytometry and other biomedical technologies because of the potential for lowering cost and complexity relative to current particle focusing methods....

  • Cryogenic Single-Phase Heat Transfer in a Microscale Pin Fin Heat Sink

    Creator:
    Truong, Eric D.
    Abstract:
    A combined experimental and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study of single-phase liquid nitrogen flow through a microscale pin-fin heat sink is presented. Such cryogenic heat sinks could find use in applications such as high performance computing, spacecraft thermal management, and hydrogen storage thermal management. A circular pin fin heat sink...

  • A Novel Elysium

    Creator:
    Anderson, Evan Crichton
    Abstract:
    As a metafictional work of science fiction literature, A Novel Elysium explores the timelessness of both the human mind and its literary surroundings, comparing the self-awareness of its characters to the sometimes tragic or empowering metaphysical realizations of human beings. Within this framework, any concrete place or time is unimportant;...

  • Design and Testing of a Tethered, Coaxial Rotor Micro Air Vehicle

    Creator:
    Shryer, Jacob R.
    Abstract:
    Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) technology is a rapidly developing technological marketspace. This thesis focuses on micro, tethered, coaxial UASs and the development of an electrically-tethered observation platform (ETOP). The thesis details the current status of the technology as well as current products on the market. Stability considerations, critical when adding...

  • Modeling of Power Efficiency in a Magnetohydrodynamic Generator

    Creator:
    Redle, Michael T.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of an Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generator in coal or natural gas energy plants could significantly increase the efficiency by converting kinetic and thermal energy of the combustion exhaust to electrical energy by the generation of a Faraday and Hall current. The traditional MHD system was transformed into a simplified...

  • Triple GPS Localization

    Creator:
    Mayes, Sean M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to increase the positional accuracy of Global Position System (GPS) modules using an artificial intelligence algorithm. Three basic and identical GPS modules were setup in an equilateral triangle formation with side lengths of one meter. The triangle was placed in four separate locations where...

  • Mutagenesis and Crystallization of Ptr ToxB, a host-selective toxin of Pyrenophora tritici-repentis

    Creator:
    Miles-Rockenfield, Kara B.
    Abstract:
    Pyrenophora tritici-repentis (Ptr) is the fungal causal agent of the disease tan spot in wheat and causes necrosis and chlorosis in infected leaves. These symptoms are caused by host-selective toxins (HSTs), molecules that serve as the sole determinants of pathogenicity. Ptr has three known HSTs, the proteinaceous Ptr ToxA and...

  • Examination of the Impact of One-Dimensional Crustal Structures on Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquake Locations

    Creator:
    Meyer, McKenzie S.
    Abstract:
    Multiple earthquake events have been recorded off the coast of Oregon, yet their locations have great uncertainty. The largest source of uncertainty is the simple models of the crust that are used to interpret seismic recordings. Because the relationship between earthquake locations and crust are diagnostic of tectonic activity, it...

    Creator:
    Waters, Allen T.
    Abstract:
    A wireless power transfer system using inductive coupling was designed and implemented as part of a three-member project team. The system uses coupled magnetic fields at a frequency of 606kHz to transfer electromagnetic energy from a charging base to the batteries of portable devices. It succeeded in transmitting power to...
